California fuckwit OS age verification means I’m going offline soon. How do I get an archive of all of GNU, Python libraries, and C with all documentation? What about all of fedora dnf, and arch’s aur? I need all documentation and source.

I’ve been regularly downloading the 100+GB data dumps of wikipedia on an annual basis for the past few years. It seems the worse the world gets, the more often I download another new copy.
I use Kiwix and download the ZIM files to keep it updated.
Lots of good stuff on Kiwix
This is something a came across yesterday.
“We will not be age-gating Wikipedia under any circumstances, so, if it comes to that, it’s going to be an interesting showdown, because we’re going to just refuse to do it. Politically, what are they going to do? They could block Wikipedia. Good luck with that.” - Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales

I’m going to assume Wikipedia wouldn’t be the only ones fighting this crap.
Is the whole age verification thing void if you compile the OS yourself?
Until some details drop about how they plan to actually enforce this, I wouldn’t bother with trying to archive all that.
I have a 200tb nas with all kinds of shit on it. Shows, music, books, manga, llms, software, etc
Keep in mind everything you use the internet for.
Unfortunately llms and tariffs have caused storage to shoot up in price quite a bit. It was quite a bit different a year ago or even better 3-5 years ago. There was a time where I’d add a drive to my NAS every few months when I had an extra hundred bucks but now I only generally only replace a drive when absolutely necessary because it’s pricey. And then on top of that each new drive means more electricity used which is also going up in cost
I don’t know why it took me 4 attempts and reading comments to actually understand what this post is about. It was just random sentences with random words before that.
I have a few gb of music.
Otherwise i say “well, that was fun” and then go outside.
Pull a copy of Wikipedia.
Set up mirrors for package repos you mentioned. Each has documentation on how to set them up.
If you went with Arch Linux, you could effectively set up your own mirror, download the wiki zim file, and you should be good to go.
There is bandersnatch for mirroring PyPI but docs are all over the place for Python packages. You might just have to hope they made liberal use of docstrings…
I do this! Friendly reminder: the Arch Wiki is also in the repo an
arch-wiki-docs.
